Planned Giving

The Gift of Inspiration, Comfort and Closure

Legacy giving is a charitable contribution such as a bequest or an annuity that allows you to make a gift to Dream Foundation in the future without substantially affecting your income today. The easiest planned gift is a simple bequest that names Dream Foundation as a beneficiary in your will or living trust.

A bequest is a revocable provision that can be changed at any time, but when realized can help sustain a legacy of Dreams for future generations of Dreamers. A bequest can leave a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the residue of your estate. The amount you designate will pass to Dream Foundation free of estate tax.

A legacy gift is a lasting statement of your generosity and caring for the most vulnerable members of our communities. It is a gift you and your family can be proud of.

Planned Giving plays a significant role in securing long term financial viability beyond the lifetime of its founders and current supporters of Dream Foundation.

There are a number of tax-advantaged Planned Giving techniques you might consider, including:

Leaving a bequest in your will or living trust

Life income gifts that pay you and/or other designated beneficiaries an income for life, such as charitable remainder trusts

Real estate gifts, including life estates

Successor beneficiary designation for retirement plans
